Cranberry and pear are two incredible flavors that suit any time of the year. The luscious, tart flavor of this infused balsamic is made all the more impressive by its ruby red color.
One of our favorite uses for this balsamic is as a spiked seltzer or mocktail. Combine 1.5 oz balsamic with 6 oz seltzer or tonic water and 1 to 2 oz cranberry juice. Add 1 to 2 oz vodka or to make it a spiked cocktail. Serve over ice.
Olive oil pairing suggestions: Herbes de Provence, blood orange fusion, Persian lime, Meyer lemon fusion, any non-infused Sigona’s Fresh Press extra virgin olive oil.
Holiday time calls for a signature drink, don’t you think?
Spiked seltzer is all the rage, so we came up with our own featuring our
Cranberry Pear Balsamic. Cranberries and pears are festive foods for the
holidays, so we thought it would make the perfect drink. You’ll love the pretty
red color! For more cocktails featuring balsamics, check out our gift pack
called The Bartender. Serves 1.
Bartlett Pear and Dried Cranberry Salad with Moo-Na Lisa Cheese and a Honey-Rosemary Vinaigrette

Sometimes all your turkey, sandwich, toast or cheeseboard needs is a good chutney. This is a simple, delicious chutney that takes little time to create. The combination of flavors is savory-sweet, and can be enhanced by a pinch of ground cinnamon or ginger, if desired. Adapted from The Olive Oil & Vinegar Lover’s Cookbook. Makes about 1 1/2 cups, depending on mango size.
